Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Green cabbage
- 1 medium Carrot
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 inch Fresh ginger
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Start by preparing the vegetables. Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and cut the head into quarters. Remove the core and thinly slice the cabbage leaves.
Peel the carrot and slice it into thin matchsticks or use a julienne peeler.
Mince the garlic cloves and grate the ginger finely.
Chop the green onions into 1-inch pieces, separating the white parts from the green leaves.
In a large pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stir-frying for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the white parts of the green onions and stir-fry for an additional 30 seconds.
Increase the heat to high and add the sliced cabbage and carrots to the pan.
Stir-fry the vegetables for 4-5 minutes, until they start to soften but still retain some crunch.
Add the soy sauce, salt, and black pepper, stirring to coat the vegetables evenly with the sauce.
Continue to stir-fry for another 2 minutes until the cabbage is tender-crisp.
Remove from heat and toss in the green parts of the green onions.
Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
